Looks like something is broken since crafty does't find Kb1! in fine70.
Here the position:


       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    8  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    7  | *K|   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    6  |   |   |   | *P|   |   |   |   |
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    5  | *P|   |   | P |   | *P|   |   |
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    4  | P |   |   | P |   | P |   |   |
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    3  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    2  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    1  | K |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
         a   b   c   d   e   f   g   h

I think Kb1! is the only winning move.

Kind regards
Bernhard
